If you are using Windows Vista, the drivers for this printer are already installed on your system. Just connect it with a USB cable. If you need a cable, but don't know what to buy, please update this post.
If you are using Windows XP, download the drivers from HP. The link is: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareList?os=228&lc=en&cc=us&lang=en&product=304445&dlc=en
Install the drivers following the prompts from the software and then connect the printer. It should recognize and install the printer automatically once the drivers are installed. At the end of the page is a diagnostic utility that should be able to help if there are any issues with the installation.

There is one thing, however. You must get THE software for YOUR Deskjet. HP lists four different models for the Deskjet 5650 series. The 5650, the 5650w, the 5652, and the 5655. The software MAY, be the same for all models of this series, but I don't take chances, and give erroneous information. Viewing the Deskjet from the front, the model number is on the lower right side.

Here is HP.com/Support, the page for the Deskjet 5650 Color Inkjet series, and the specific page that you choose which model you have,http://h20180.www2.hp.com/apps/Lookup?h_lang=en&h_cc=us&cc=us&h_page=hpcom&lang=en&h_client=S-A-R163-1&h_query=Deskjet+5650&submit.x=3&submit.y=2

I'm going to click on the top model listed, HP Deskjet 5650 Color Inkjet Printer,as an example.Now click on the -> Software & Driver downloads heading.Now choose which Operating System you are using. I see they only have the Diagnostic Utility available, if you are using Windows Vista. If you are using Windows XP, they have the full software package available.(HP Deskjet Full Feature Software and Driver -Date: 12-2003)

Hi,
Here's a link. You can dowload the drivers & software for you printer. It also has user guide and help on installing. If you need more help just leave a comment & I'll be happy to help. If this helps you plz rate this as 'fixa'. Thank you kindly.

well..assuming that the text is the same on all, this might be a settings issue, with the print spooler. That's in the set up of the printer, under properties..look into that, and perhaps you'll want to spool the whole job, instead of printing immediately?
